San Pedro Boatworks
Port of Los Angeles is looking to reopen the site as the L.A. Shipyard to serve the local boats. The project is part of the Berth 44 Boatyard Development project. The new yard would work on boats from 40 to 150 feet and maybe larger. The proposed site would be 3 acres of land and one acre of water, located between Berth 46 and the Cabrillo Way Marina. Currently Al Larson Boat Shop is the only operating boatyard in LA.
World War 2
San Pedro Boatworks built to support World War 2 US Army Patrol Boats. The series was boats J-1828 to J-1854, these 27 gasoline engine, 37-foot wood boats, design # 243 were built in 1944.
Clean up
In 2015 a court case went to the US Ninth Circuit court regards to the "ownership" of the boatyard due clean up work done at the site after its closure. The case was the City of Los Angeles v. San Pedro Boatworks.
